jon.young Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hi Is it possible to fit after market hids in the 03 jdm lights? As I'm missing the wires for the standard ballast, and I'm unsure if I could wire that part in my self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 It could be done if you bought one of those HID kits of eBay pretty cheap, but I believe technically to legally have HID's you have to have auto leveling headlights and washers...

My car is a jdm and has no washers or levelling yet it passed its mot in January fine. HID's as standard. I did sweat it alittle but I think they when they see an import they just think it comes from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Do your headlights have the ballasts underneath them already? My first zed had standard halogen bulbs, but when I removed the headlight I found that the ballasts and wiring for HIDs was all present - it had just been bypassed to get it through the SVA when first imported - a fairly common occurrence.

You're probably right, come to think of it, my washers weren't even checked during MoT and mines a UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.young Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 No it's got the cut out that the wires go through an the fixing wholes, but the Person I got the lights off said the ballasts were water damaged, so binned them, Just thought as jdm hid standard from factory won't need levelling stuff or washers, Just as easy to put that in, as the wires have been chopped about Just wire it up with piggy back connectors so the lights can still be removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
